Went for a hike this morning and it was glorious outside!! Wanted to take our youngest daughter out to breakfast and she said she would rather come home and save the money. (how did I get so lucky??)

However, knowing how her mama cooks…these crepes are probably the reason why. Once you start cooking better foods, you will notice when eating out things do not have the same flavor they use to. Your palate will change and that is good because the less toxic you are the more sensitive to flavors (real flavors, not just sugar & salt…the main seasoning used in most foods) you will become!

So, we came home and hunkered down to make probably the best breakfast in the known universe.

NO JOKE.

And not only are they ridiculously delicious, these crepes are grain-free, gluten-free and dairy-free(other than the butter, which is a dairy fat than dairy protein, which most people have trouble with).

So, hunker down ….these don’t take long and you will die from pleasure eating them.

This easy-to-make, must-have-staple will be used frequently when you commit yourself to a dairy-free lifestyle. I seriously, do not miss real whipping cream any longer. The benefits of Coconut Milk are numerous, the MCFA’s (medium chain fatty acids) are wonderous and do not increase inflammation in the body like dairy does! I have a couple tricks up my sleeve that have made this process a little easier than when I started. So, please whip it up and enjoy!!

Recipe Notes

The key to success in this recipe is all in the preparation.

I have tried almost all coconut milks out there and have found Trader Joe's Coconut Cream to be the best option with the best turn out and least waste.

Also, the longer you refrigderate...the better. Many sites will say 24 hours, but really I find again that anything after 48 is best. Also, if you are in a pinch and forgot to do this ahead of time, you can always throw in the freezer for 20-25 minutes. Just want to make sure contents have thoroughly cooled (not froze) before whipping.

Lastly, this trick has been handed down to me by my mama. Before you whip your cream, freeze a metal bowl for about 20-30 minutes. This will ensure that your cream stays cool while you whip the crap out of it!

YOU DON’T HAVE GF WAFFLES???…I SAY!!

My experience at many, many restaurants have left me feeling defeated and depressed. When Gluten Free options are advertised…Especially for Breakfast..I experience dreams and aspirations of a glorious baked good blowout.

Only then I find their options include…EGGS.

REALLY?!

You are lucky if they offer a good GF bread and you really hit the jackpot if there are decent pancakes.

Walking away, I feel empty and dejected….thinking to myself, ‘I could do better.’

I understand eating out grain-free is a pipe dream, but I always hold out for someone brave to make something delicious that is Gluten Free.

You will notice there are weights for flours instead of cups. Weighing flours in Gluten Free or Grain Free is ESSENTIAL. Flours are typically heavier than traditional gluten containing flours. Always allow yourself more liquid if batter starts to set up and get too dry.

These muffins are a staple in my family’s daily diet. They are crazy nutritious and delicious! Easy to bring anywhere, they are sure to be that perfect inbetween-meal…meal. Full of fat and fiber they are super filling. Easy to freeze, if you can before you or your loved ones devour them!!!

Paleo Muffin

Delicious, easy to make and then freeze after for a perfectly balanced paleo snack anywhere!

Baking Paleo is very different than traditional baking. Due to the fact that the flours are much heavier and you are using a lot of eggs, they 'dehydrate' as much as they bake. Depending on the wetness of your final batter, (mine is usually much drier than traditional batter), will affect how long to fully bake them. After a couple trials, you will figure out which consistency works best with your oven and your brand of coconut flour. (yes, that makes a difference)
